About the Play
A hilarious send up of marriage, taxes, weight loss and sex and one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history.
Story:
Recently divorced Mary and Bob meet at his apartment to try to avoid an audit by the IRS. A snowstorm forces Mary to spend the night, and the following morning, mutual friend and lawyer Oscar, Hollywood heartthrob and neighbor Dirk Winston, and Bob's considerably younger fiancée Tiffany arrive on the scene.
